- What stood out for me was whole connection with ADHD "Epidemic" as compared to our out-dated educational system in all its productin line mentality. Wow! We really need to go in the opposite direction!
- Agree, Agree, Agree Intellectual vs. Artistic Book vs. Arts One is not better than other.
- There is not just one way to learn. I liked it!
- So much of what we do is modeled on archaic systems, we need to address the needs of today's learners
- Couldn't agree more Re: pushing drugs on ADHD kids My feeling is that same idea - too many people relying on drugs for a cure. Did not agree with putting different age levels together.
- I totally agree that we don't bring the best out of our students. We prefer to keep some of the most creative within a structured, uncreative environment.
- There are many ways to learn, not everyone fits into the public school mold.
- No more production lines! Need: aesthetic experiences, creative thinking, collaboration
- Success is connected with economy and culture of home. How is this being addressed? economy/cultural
- Educating students in batches assembly line education
- ...makes me think of how to encourage students to be "divergent thinkers" rather than there only being one answer- schools as factories
- No solution ideas
- Interesting, I showed this last night to my UOP grad. student teachers. Love it! I feel I'm a creative, divergent thinker and I'm completely uninvolved in any change in A.U.S.D.
- We have models, like the A.N.S.A. program where non-industrial 21st century learning is happening. It would be great to value and share these programs.
- History of education has dictated a stagnant model that we currently are "stuck" in
- Most great thinking comes from a group activity > collaboration, not just one answer
- The Arts are the Victims
- Our current education system kills creative, divergent thinking. But how could this be possible- to teach kids in 100 different ways????
- We need to change the way we teach!!
- Problem solving and divergent thinking, most important - last 10-12 years have deleted this from curriculum
- We have New Challenges and NEED New Paradigms
- Collaboration is the stuff of learning
- I completely agree with this video. Habitat of School + Habits of School = Student Creativity and Growth
- Divergent thinking = more than one way to interpret the question/more than one answer
- The part on divergent thinking was very enlightening! I feel like I could watch this again and again and get something more out of it each time.
- I've thought about this presentation for a month. I can't quite state my final response. It's like it must collapse like a singularity and be reborn
- I agree that ADHD and Bipolar are the diagnosis du jour
